Comparing RetraxPro MX Hard Tonneau Covers with Aluminum Construction and Matte Black Finish
Question:
Looking at the Retrax Tonneau Covers. These are all stated as 5ft 6in bed. What about a 5ft 8in bed? Also some brief explination of the difference between the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover - Stake Pocket Cutouts - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte vs the RetraxPRO MX Hard Tonneau Cover - Wide Rails - Retractable - Aluminum - Matte would be very helpful.

The 5 foot 8 inch bed of the 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 is referenced as a 5-1/2 foot bed. The manufacturer just rounds the numbers for parts like a tonneau cover, but the covers will be tested to confirm a fit, so they have been tested to fit your truck.
The difference between the RetraxPro MX Stake Pocket # RT80460 and the RetraxPro MX Wide Rail # RT80471 is only in the style of the rails. The wide rail kit completely covers the stake pocket holes for a clean look that also keeps more water out of the bed by eliminating another access point. The Stake Pocket Kit intentionally leaves the stake pockets accessible for use. This allows you to use any equipment that may utilize those pockets like a headache rack or ladder rack.
I've attached a video to cover some of the features, but let me know if you have further questions.
